I was just wondering you guys thoughts on character romance. Marriage is an option, and there are titles that you can get for dating. Some people are married. Just wanted to get some thoughts.

I don't remember if the wedding chapel was fixed or not.

The wedding chapel is stilled closed so you cant officially get married, although some players have found ways to get married married "unofficially" I think?

We had a look at the old chapel, and while it appears to still worh technically we don't think it's up to standards in terms of theme and functionality (which perhaps was why it was closed?). So... it needs to be improved a little. Mirandus and Britanica have been looking at fixing it up so it can open again. I think we should open it for sure, once it's ready.

Was just wondering. Ody and Emmiline, etc. are married. I was wondering how that worked. Can't you still get the titles at the Registry on Sybarus?

Yeah, we just used Cynredes. Though I really think that chapel should reopen Since it's a 'theme' problem apparently, I don't see a theme issue.

Ody: No, no. "Unofficial", not unofficial. The "" makes all the difference! I just meant you found a way to get married without using the chapel. It does not make it any less worth than a... uh.. real marriage...? Uhm... err...

Anyway, to change the subject,

I am the Arch of Domains and it's my job to make sure stuff added to the game has good functionality and holds a high standard in all regards. I would not do my job very well if I allowed the old chapel to open as it is. It's very user-unfriendly, and getting married there is also very anti-climatic. I want it the whole marriage experience to be better before we open it up.

Good to know. I am in a relationship currently, so it's looking like Cynredes is the answer if that were to happen.

Only joking Cherek. I knew what you meant. To be honest the issue boils down to wanting it to be official in the sight of the game itself. For instance you can't get a tattoo of your partners name in the Calian tattoo partner. (Never would ever do this, but it's an example). Also the wedding ring that's an official one from the church would be nice. My friend Ives has one and it looks great on her character. That's really all we want. I'm not interested in inviting people and having a wedding all over again. It's just wanting it to be recognized.
